Tangled is meant to describe the messy web of the characters' emotions, but it could just as well apply to the ornate plot of this tale of an overheated collegiate love triangle. David (Shawn Hatosy, Outside Providence) is madly in love with Jenny (Rachael Leigh Cook, She's All That), but she falls for his old friend Alan (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Velvet Goldmine). Though David knows that Alan has a history as a heartbreaker, nothing he says convinces Jenny that she's making a mistake--until Alan starts behaving erratically, and David has to take steps to protect her... steps that grow increasingly drastic. Though the actors are all attractive and have done good work in other films, the script of Tangled is disjointed and overwrought. Also featuring Lorraine Bracco as a police detective and Estella Warren (2001's Planet of the Apes) as a blond temptress. --Bret Fetzer

Can I get a refund for that ninety minutes of my life?.......2007-04-13

Tangled (Jay Lowi, 2001)

Shawn Hatosy has been doing the character-actor thing in Hollywood for a long time. Lowi, in his first feature film, gives Hatosy a starring role, and pairs him opposite established stars Rachael Leigh Cook (Antitrust) and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Titus), as well as throwing Lorraine Bracco (The Sopranos) into the mix-- and he still can't come up with a good movie.

Now, I'll watch Jonathan Rhys Meyers in anything, and I have, and I still had trouble with this mess. The basic idea: David Klein (Hatosy) wakes up in a hospital with a police detective (Bracco) at his side. It seems Kelin's girlfriend Jenny (Cook) and his best friend Alan Hammond (Meyers) are both missing from the wreckage of Hammond's car, where Klein was found. Klein relates the story of the relationship between the three of them to the detective, piecemeal, with scenes from the present intercut.

Predictable, boring, cliched, two-dimensional, need I go on? If the ending of Jodi Picoult novels comes as a shock to you, you may find the big reveal here to be a surprise. No one else will. * ½

I was surprised after people panned it.......2006-06-11

I thought... what the heck, I'll watch it. So I did. I loved it. I was SO surprised none of the critics liked it. It was well made and the characters are all rather believable. I was surprised at how many bad reviews it got. I thought it was rather good.

Tangled gets tangled in its own self......a big bore.......2005-10-31

Shawn Hatosy (The Faculty, Outside Providence) is in love with Rachael Leigh Cook (She's All That, Antitrust) but she doesnt love him, she only wants to be his friend, then enter Hatosy's friend, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (Tv's Elvis, Velvet Goldmine) who becomes Cook's boyfriend and Hatosy becomes jealous from this....who hasnt gotten made when a friend seduces the girl you love....you know what, who cares really. Hatosy tells the story in flashback telling the story to cop Lorraine Bracco (The Sopranos, Medicine Man). This boring story has no likable characters and invokes really thin interest with me. Cook is really stale, Hatosy, as much as a good actor he is is rendered dull and Meyers plays another sleaze ball like in most of his thrillers. Worth a look and by god Im not looking again and towards the end you're like....WHY I DID I RENT THIS?!!. Also starring Estella Warren (Planet of the Apes remake).

Great acting, great plot, great movie.......2005-08-31

It's definitely a must-see. Very climatic, mysterious thriller/love story which will leave you fascinated long after watching.
